Repainting Plastic Body Kit To Different Colour

[aquilius]

Can you respray a plastic body kit to a different colour??

Assuming you can, is it likely to chip and look bad etc?

Any disadvantages basically?

Thanks

Your bumpers are all plastic, so yeh u can. Look at ANY modern car to answer your question.

I'd like to know this myself .. can you take a say, white factory kit and repaint into factory black? how much do you reckon you'd be up for if you were to have a rear bar and sides repainted??

[Yawn]

Of course you can

but arent they the same colour all the way through the plastic?

As Delta Force asked, can you actually respray a white plastic kit to a black colour?

If so, any disadvantages such as fading back to white etc?

ALL panels are sprayed to whatever colour the car is. Parts are not made using different coloured plastics.

There are NO problems with respraying a plastic panel and no the colour underneath will not show through.

Have you ever seen the back of a bumper, or a scratched bumper? Too hard to supply different coloured bumpers, so the manufacturer just makes all the bumpers the same, and they are painted the colour of your car.

Would be good tho if my bumpers were white all the way through. Stone chips eat your heart out
